From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Again, all you're describing is just scripting tools that already exist together.
My question is "WHY?". You've not been able to describe a problem that needs a solution. I'm seeing in these other comments that you're just deflecting that question, so do you know what you're trying to solve here?
Please demonstrate how the example I gave above can be done with common scripting tools, such it would mimic the declarative experience I described. I don't think it is possible as you claim.
Can you please point to where I deflected any questions? I looked and could not find any instances of such.
I actually answered the question "why", please refer to previous comments. It is also answered in the main post. But I will rephrase and summarize again here:
